I’m so glad I was young before this stupid reality happened. I have a regular job and no desire for internet fame.
I asked my younger family members what they want to be when they grow up, and being a YouTuber was at the top of the list. I hate this so much.
So no follow-up questions? "What content are you gonna make? How are you gonna promote it? Any backup plans?"
you're just old...
Yeah, and I feel like I'm winning. If you want to be an influencer, go do that.
